I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 496 - 211: Damn it! (Seeking subscription)_3

"However, there’s one thing we must clarify."

"Though the Heroic Marquis holds the title of Marquis, it is not hereditary and does not entail the responsibility of defending the borders and building armies."

"However, the Holy Emperor has decreed that from today onward, the Heroic Marquis may freely enter and exit the Imperial Palace, and carry weapons when meeting the Emperor."

"Moreover, there is this..."

Liu Gao beckoned behind him, and a eunuch handed him the tray he held.

"This is a contract, it belongs to the land where the Heroic Marquis battled ’Black Impermanence’ last night!"

The Old Lady felt slightly disappointed, but still asked joyfully, "Has the Holy Emperor granted that land to Yi Er?"

"Old Lady, you are not aware that the place has now become the ’Sword Cultivation Sacred Land of the World’, a term written personally by the Holy Emperor, and soon a monument will be erected there."

Liu Gao shook his head and said, "This contract covers only fifty percent of the land, and in the future, the court will set up a toll station to collect money there." frёeωebɳovel.com

Chen Taixing opened his mouth in surprise and said, "So Yi Er will receive fifty percent of the proceeds?"

Liu Gao nodded with a smile, "Not just money, but all other benefits will belong to the Heroic Marquis."

While saying this, he also gave a subtle hint, "If in the future, the Chen Family has a child with natural talent for sword cultivation, that place will be a treasure ground."

"Perhaps, the Heroic Marquis can establish a Sword Dao sect there, then I dare not imagine how powerful your..."

Your Chen Family would become!

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Chen Family became increasingly excited, eagerly anticipating the emergence of such a scene.

"Good, good, good!"

The Old Lady uttered three consecutive "good" words, her old heart comforted as she said, "Yi Er’s honor is the honor of our Chen Family!"

"Taixing, give the order to prepare incense, I must inform our ancestors!"

Liu Gao quickly intervened, adding, "Old Lady, please wait, there is one more thing."

"Mr. Liu, please speak."

"In a few days, we will bring people to plan the construction of the Marquis Yingwu Mansion and related matters; I ask the Old Lady to inform the Young Marquis."

After saying this, Liu Gao beckoned again, placing the last tray on the table:

"Though the Young Marquis’s robe, waist tag, and seal have already been brought from the palace, I ask the Old Lady to hand them over along with everything else."

"Good!"

The Old Lady looked at the purple robe, along with a seal and waist tag made of black jade on the table, her smile growing even thicker.

At this moment, Liu Gao finally rose and said, "Old Lady and everyone, stay, I must visit Duke Jingye Mansion, so I won’t linger."

"..."

After Liu Gao and the others left, the joy among the Chen Family members was mixed with some complexity.

Chen Taixing glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Zhou Wanyi and Chen Fan, cupping his hands:

"Grandmother, Yi Er’s matter is settled, we can celebrate when he returns."

"However, Yuan Er... Today he is hosting a banquet at Duke Jingye Mansion, and the invitation has been sent to us; what do you think..."

The Old Lady’s smile faded as she looked at those present, her gaze landing on Zhou Wanyi:

"Wan Yi, how do you decide on this matter?"

"I will follow Grandmother’s instructions in everything."

Zhou Wanyi kept her gaze lowered, speaking in an unchanged tone, as if Chen Yuan was a stranger, not her child.

But besides the Buddha beads in her hand, there was a small wooden sword shining faintly.

The Old Lady looked at her for a long time, nodded, and said, "Taiping has already learned about Yuan Er’s succession as Duke Jingye, and sent a letter agreeing to it."

"Taixing, prepare some ceremonial gifts to send over later so that our Chen Family is not thought of as discourteous!"

Chen Taixing nodded, and just as he was about to turn and leave, he paused and listened intently for a moment, his expression becoming slightly excited.

"Second Uncle, you don’t need to go to Duke Jingye Mansion, I will go there myself later!"

"Additionally, Second Uncle, please bring the robe, waist tag, and seal to Kyoto Academy, I will be waiting for you here!"

Yi Er?!

Chen Taixing heard this and hurriedly picked up the tray on the table, bowing hastily:

"Grandmother, Yi Er wants me to deliver the robe, he, he’s currently at Kyoto Academy!"

"Yi Er also said he wants to personally go to Duke Jingye Mansion!"

Upon hearing this, those about to leave were taken aback.

The Old Lady listened, contemplated momentarily, then stood up with her cane and said, "Quickly send it to Yi Er, don’t delay his business!"

"Yes!"

Chen Taixing left with the order.

The entire central hall fell into silence, and everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned towards Zhou Wanyi.

Seeing this, the Old Lady waved her hand, signaling them to disperse first, her muddled eyes looking at Zhou Wanyi:

"If you are not busy, my eldest daughter-in-law, come talk to me in the ancestral hall."

Zhou Wanyi’s hand, which was playing with the Buddha beads, paused, she slowly stood and bowed:

"Grandmother, I have prepared long ago."

...

Within Kyoto Academy, Chen Yi stood atop a deep academic building, calmly gazing at Fengtong Street in the distance.

"The small wooden sword is with Zhou Wanyi..."

After having a conversation with the Great Master, Chen Yi remained standing there, his Sword Intent enveloping the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

He not only learned about the martial arts guests going to the battlefield and that it had become the ’Sword Cultivation Sacred Land’, but also heard about the Holy Emperor conferring him as the Heroic Marquis.

Through his Sword Intent perception, he also recognized the presence of his small wooden sword within the Chen Residence.

Via the small wooden sword, Chen Yi saw Liu Gao delivering the imperial decree and the reactions of the Chen Family.

"A banquet... haha."

Chen Yi neither cared for the title of Heroic Marquis nor for the so-called ’Sword Cultivation Sacred Land’, these were merely goodwill from the Holy Emperor.

What he cared about was—Chen Yuan had already succeeded as Duke Jingye!

At this moment, the Great Master accompanying him chuckled:

"Now that the young friend has been conferred as the Heroic Marquis by the Holy Emperor, I dare not call you ’Young Marquis’ anymore."
